My name is Annika Horne and I am a filmmaker, actor, and singer from Texas living in New York City.  

​

My short documentary FLYING IN THE DARK was an official selection of the Austin Film Festival and Brooklyn Film Festival and received the Austin Film Society grant. The film uses lively animation and firsthand accounts to tell the story of women in aviation, from World War II to the present. 

​

I grew up singing country music in Texas and had the amazing opportunity to open for Wynona Judd and perform at venues throughout the country. In New York, I perform regularly as a jazz vocalist and singer songwriter at venues across the city.

​

My next film project is an animated dramatization of a year in the life of a USO artist who left her home in Brooklyn at the age of 22 to capture portraits of more than a thousand soldiers in Europe in 1945. I have recently received a research grant from the Anne S.K. Brown Military collection at Brown University to support the development of this project.

​

I am a trained actor and won a Young Artist Award for a guest starring role in the series Army Wives.
